Episode Quotes
Host: The concept of medical transplants is exciting indeed, but the story behind this painting takes the concept a step further. Or if you will, a step over, into a different kind of world. One in which a gentleman named Lachlan finds a hand that is not his own, and he finds it at the end of his wrist. Our painting, The Hand of Borgus Weems.
